Murano glass sculpture ANIMALS

Animals constituted one of young Oscar’s first contacts with glass, when he began his experience in ‘lampwork’, working with a torch at a workbench. But his real education came with the designs of his father Licio, and later with his own creations/creatures, making the pieces in ‘solid’ glass which the Vetreria Zanetti is now specialized in. Figures whose colours and forms extend nature’s own variety and open the doors to a magic dimension, where sharks emerge from waves of clear glass enclosing myriads of bubbles, winged horses that exit mythology to come forward in glass, ducks in flight that blend their transparency with the transparency of the sky and triumphant goldfish on curled blue waves. Admiring the display of works, it looks like their creator has tried everything, not just in terms of design but even in the composition of the glass types and in their combinations.
